Description
Turret House is a house built around 1830 with a late 19th-century addition. The original part of the house is made of red brick and has a roof covered with black glazed pantiles. The later addition features rubble carstone, flint, and brick with cut stone dressings. The main house has three ground-floor and two first-floor sash windows with glazing bars. There is an off-center door with a rectangular fan light and a flat-roofed porch supported by two columns with fluted neckings and plain shafts. The house has one gable at the south end and one axial stack.
The late 19th-century addition is designed in a Tudoresque Gothic style, incorporating some medieval elements but largely featuring 19th-century cut stone details. At the south side, there is a two-storey returned bay that connects with the main house, made of rubble carstone with brick dressings. It has an octagonal brick angle pier with an applied stone octagonal fragment that includes tracery and finials. There is a first-floor string course, an attic parapet, and a flat roof.
In the center of the addition is a two-storey tower with a ground-floor rectangular stone window and brick angle piers. The first floor features a largely stone-dressed rectangular tower with four traceried angle turrets topped with finials and two ogee-headed Gothic windows. To the north, there is a single-storey section with a large three-light Tudor terracotta casement. There is also a two-storey semi-octagonal tower with a ground floor that has a renewed, possibly 15th-century, battlemented two-light casement to the south and a 13th-century tomb lid to the north. The first floor has two two-light casements and battlements, with a decorative string course of flint and terracotta connecting the three bays.
